6 Thus said YHWH: “For three transgressions of Gaza, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete captivity, To deliver up to Edom,
耶和华如此说: 迦萨三番四次地犯罪, 我必不免去她的刑罚; 因为她掳掠众民交给以东。

14 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it has consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of windstorm,
我却要在争战呐喊的日子, 旋风狂暴的时候, 点火在拉巴的城内, 烧灭其中的宫殿。
15 And their king has gone in a removal, He and his heads together,” said YHWH!
他们的王和首领必一同被掳去。 这是耶和华说的。
